Because "xset -q" (within the session) still said that the font path is just "built-ins", I set the path (and had to use my Linux paths):
This is weird. Normally you should have more than "built-ins", see below.
If you run xset q inside the x2go session you will see the settings of x2go's X server (x2goagent/nxagent). That one is running on the Linux side, so you must use Linux paths there:
xset fp /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/misc/,built-ins
To check the font settings of the Vcxsrv.exe you have two options:
- check the logfile (I am not sure if that is always created; cannot check right now)
- run xset q against the vcxsrv's display
For whatever reason (maybe some rendering is done by the client and some by the server), this finally did the job!
nxagent uses these defaults if no fontpath is specified (using -fp) on startup:
#define NXAGENT_DEFAULT_FONT_DIR "/usr/share/nx/fonts" #define NXAGENT_ALTERNATE_FONT_DIR "/usr/share/X11/fonts" #define NXAGENT_ALTERNATE_FONT_DIR_2 "/usr/share/fonts/X11" #define NXAGENT_ALTERNATE_FONT_DIR_3 "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts"

Nxagent will check if the four FONT_DIRS exist. For any existing dir it will add the corresponding path to the fontpath. Finally it will append ",.built-ins".
If you fontpath inside the session if only "built-ins" none of the mentioned dirs is existing on your server. Can you please verify?
Now the question: where's you special font located? What does xset q report if you just open a simple session with an xterm and nothing else? What does it report for a full session (before applying your fix)?.
